Wow, what a subjective topic. There is no human nature as such....we do what we do based on a lot of things...we are exposed to all sorts of things as we grow up....we form opinions about varying things by what we see, what we experience...so I dont believe it has anything to do with "human nature"...but more to do with what we experience. Our belief system is based on everything we have experienced. You know Hitler thought he was a moral man. He thought he was doing society a favour by coming up with the idea of making the perfect race...the blue eyed, good looking individual...to get those results, lots of experiments had to be done. Hell, I dont think he was a very moral man at all...but he thought he was. The standard of morality will differ from person to person.....and if they believe they are moral, then no-one really has a leg to stand on because we all see morality as different, eg. a married man who is being manipulated and blackmailed may see it as his right to find a woman outside the marriage to get his needs met with. A woman who is being beaten will be justified if she goes into the arms of another man who will understand her plight. Morality is a state of mind and not too many people would agree on the same principals or moriality. You just have to read questions about divorce and infedility to get different peoples points of view on it.
My morality is.....stive to be the best person you can be...dont allow yourself to be owned by another person. If you are unhappy in a relationship, then leave it. Dont have any regrets on your deathbed....live life to the best of your ability....Strive to be happy. I am sure many would disagree with me....but hey, thats my morality.

First it needs to be established whether 'morality' exists objectivley to human nature or not... or even if 'human nature' is a fact or just an excuse for our behaviour. Personally I feel that human nature is a fact but what it consists of is rather complex and difficult to discuss if everybody is not clear on what they would count as human nature. This I believe to be interlinked with what we feel/think (some insist know) to be right and wrong. I find it difficult to believe that 'morality' is an objective matter, I think that what we see as right and wrong or good and bad are merely reflections on how our lives have been and the opinions and feelings we have formed because of it.
So in attempt to answer you question, I would say that most people would think that if they had done something they believed to be human nature, they would also believe this to be right. If someone believes that human nature is 'evil' or a 'flaw' then if they do something they believe to be human nature, then they would inevitably see this as wrong. This is another matter completely when it comes to one person judging another's actions however! This is due to dissagreement on what counts as human nature and if human nature is good, bad or just a fact of life.

Speaking in a broad sense? No, just because humane nature may make us want to do something does not mean it's right. Humane nature can move us to feel many emotions or needs, from sex to violence. Following those suggestive needs can land any of us in jail or kill our relationship.
With that said, humane nature can't be discounted and ignored either. The humane nature we speak of and the urges that come from it have to be fed in some way or form. The feed the need for tribal war and violence, we have sports as an example. Do you have something specific in mind?
Take Care..

No it does not. A good example of human nature is seen in very young children, who although they have human nature, have not been taught to do things correctly. Also, it is human nature to lust.But not right to follow through with lustful desires. Billy Graham puts it this way. "You can't keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair."
